[To J. S. Henslow   [22 January 1843]]

"like to know, who your bigoted mathematical friend is, who sneers so severely on Leibig & Co … I have heard many … your pursuits; & the worst of it is, that your pursuits are so evidently excellent, that one cannot have the pleasure of abusing you. I hope indeed, you will find leisure from your weightier occupations to go on with your fosil work…" Erwaehnt Alexander v. Humboldt.
